The bar chart illustrates the data about how people in different age groups updated their routine information by using social networking, microblogging and radio in 2011
Overall, the use of radio was the most except for the 10-17 group, followed by the social network. While the categories of microblogging were the lowest in each age group.
Social networking was the top way to receive the information with 80% of people in the 10-17 age group while the use of radio was only half. But from 18 to 29 years old, despite social networking’s data remaining the same, radio users had increased up to 90% and became the highest. In other figures, it is clear to see that the rate of social networking dropped, followed by increasing age, at nearly 50% in between 30 and 64 and only 25% of elderly. At the same age group as social network’s data, the use of radio was still around 90% and had not changed even because of age.
On the other side, microblogging had been used by around 20% to 25% of people in the first three age groups and then decreased to 15% for people from 50 to 64 and finished at about 10% of elderly people.
